Does Isabel Grocery & Cafe have drinking water violations?

EPA's records list 9 violations for this system; 2 are health-based, and the most recent began in October 2013. The violations listed here began between July 1996 and October 2013. By type: 5 monitoring and reporting, 2 public notice, recordkeeping or other and 2 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (7 of them). EPA lists 6 as resolved and 3 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed.
